I would just like to know what different people view as the fine line in ending a relationship.

It depends on the situation. If I do not love the person time to let go. If they are abusive it is time to let go. I finally found my soul mate so I could not imagine ever letting go. My step dad asked me a question one time and I never understood what he meant until I met my soul mate. My step dad asked if your boyfriend and your mother was on a ship and you could only save one who would you save? I always picked my mother. He would tell me that is wrong. Well I found the one that I would save. I know that it sounds mean but I love him so much that I would save him. If you don't love the one your with enough to save them over anyone else they may not be the right one. But each situation is different and it is hard to say what the fine line would be to make it be over.

I never thought of that, but it is true. The one you choose to save is that person you want to live with everyday for the rest of your life. Thank you travibabiesgirl for bringing that to my attention.

The easiest and simplest point of view I have is this: When you aren't happy and your partner isnt happy and you know that neither one of you want to make things better or fix things. And if its only one of you that want things to be better and the other one doesnt put forth that effort- thats the end of a relationship right there.

Most people are in denial stage when realizing to let go in a relationship. You have to be just very careful in analyzing ur feelings i guess, so that u might not regret ur decision in the long run.
